Q. How stupid are american voters?

A. Bush was re-elected.

Guess that answers that.

The Anti-Incumbency Movement is Dead

Joel S. Hirschhorn
The Intelligence Daily
November 10, 2008

In the larger picture, the anti-incumbency movement merely serves as a distraction from more sensible approaches for reforming and revitalizing American democracy. It is just another of a seemingly endless array of ineffective and marginalized political reform movements. Until American patriots and dissidents unite behind something a lot more powerful the two-party plutocracy will remain in power.

The core problem is that the public has been thoroughly brainwashed to believe in the two-party system. One major consequence is that they refuse to vote for third-party candidates, so that even when they see what is tragic about our politicians they think the solution as voting for a challenger from the other major party. This happens despite the high fraction of voters registered as independents.
The anti-incumbency movement could only be successful if it was truly bipartisan so that voters rejected not only ALL incumbent Democrats and Republicans, but also refused to elect new members to Congress from BOTH major parties. Merely shifting control of Congress from one of the major parties to the other has never worked effectively. Why? Simple, both major parties have been corrupted by the same corporate and other special interests that pervert public policies to serve them rather than the general public.
The problem is that we still do not effective political competition in a nation that prides itself about competition. The two-party duopoly and plutocracy has worked hard to block true political competition. When it comes to congressional elections, gerrymandering has been used as a potent weapon. Gerrymandering of districts by both major parties when they have the power to accomplish it has not only protected incumbents, it has also made it nearly impossible for third party congressional candidates that are on a huge number of ballots to be successful.

Nelson Lee Walker of Tenure Corrupts recently made these sage observations: Im coming around to the idea that the bulk of the American people are basically stupid, stupid, stupid! Why? How else can we explain how Congress, which has a 9% approval rating, gets reelected about 95% of the time? Do we ever throw the bums out? Listen to these stats: Senate: As of 2008, of 100 Senators, 39 (39%) reelected for 18 yrs or more, 4 over 40 years! House: As of 2008, of 435 members, 143 (33%) reelected for 14 yrs or more, 5 over 36 years! And the longer these guys are in office, the more of them will run unopposed in future elections, since nobody will bother to challenge them. Unopposed races have doubled in the last 20 years, from 40 to 80 seats. And who is responsible for this sad state of affairs? YOU!!! Not your dumb neighbor. Not the media. Not the crooked political system. Just YOU, the typical stupid American! The guy who complains how those crooked politicians are ripping off the country and sending us all down the tubes, and then reelects them!

In this of all years these critical views are hard to dispute. After all, could it be any clearer that the anti-incumbency movement is a failure? I urge those who have put so much time and energy into the anti-incumbency movement to call it quits and devote themselves to strategies that may be more effective. One option is to work hard to form a new national third party. Another is to support the relatively new nonpartisan attempt by Friends of the Article V Convention at www.foavc.org to compel Congress to give Americans what they have a constitutional right to have and what has been requested by the required number of states, and what the Founders believed we would need when the public lost trust and confidence in the federal government: an Article V convention that could consider proposals for constitutional amendments, a number of which could truly reform the structure of our dysfunctional political system.

For too long Congress has refused to obey the Constitution and we dumb Americans have let them get away with it, in large part because both Democrats and Republicans have feared (and instilled fear about) such a convention. The same people that keep getting elected to Congress! Hows that for symmetrical infamy ?
***For those of you wondering why Bush was so helpful with the transition period, this is why(b/c- Whistleblower: Bush's NSA spied on EVERYONE) . You don't piss off the next president when you've got a closet that, in narnia-like fasion, opens out into a crypt full of skeletons

  • Please watch my story "TIFFANY LEBOUEF SEEKS JUSTICE" They hid my only evidence and lied about it then they made me "TAKE THE DEAL" or go to Prison for 9 + yrs. This is crazy stuff. They have given me 2 strikes and one more brush with the law of any kind will send me to "PRISON FOR LIFE"..... HELP MEEEEEEEE!

    I have documents to PROVE my innocence but no one will even look at it. What is going on with this country???

  • @joanarc1111 You must educate yourself about the legal systems. There is alot of information and I still do not yet fully understand it all but I have learned alot. Here is a link with some basic legal information. I have set the link to the part of the film that talks about law but I recommend the entire film because it is great.

  • You know, I really can't do anything, I'm only 17, and no ones going to listen to a 17 year old. I'm thinking that no one can do anything at this point. I mean, how can you defeat a government that has a huge military force. Its almost impossible. But I'm also thinking that if I don't fight the government, my future will be threatened. I won't have a safe future for my future wife, or kids. I want to fight for my freedoms and everyone else's. People say protest, but that wont work. Were fucked.

  • WAKE UP, VOTE RON PAUL.

  • @MizzShady

    It has been said that "hope" is the great falsifier of truth - Ron Paul , as great as he is , will not become president unless he is placed there by the corrupt criminal elite who own the office of President - and if he finds himself in that office , he will do exactly as he is told , and nobody wants to see that - or the alternative - him being assassinated !

    If Ron Paul is our only hope - we're screwed !

    Even the idea of elections in our police state is somewhat of a joke !

  • People in the UK need to also.

  • @RonPaul2008dotcomluv "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering." Yoda

  • RON PAUL IS OUR ONLY HOPE NOW!!!!! VOTE RON PAUL 2012

  • @person11221122 etc, etc. I just hate how people like Casey Anthony could go free after something horrible they have done.

  • I hate all of the crime that occurs in the USA! My thought is that we adopt a less severe version of Hammurabi's Code.....I mean, it's not like if a child strikes someone his hand will get cut off, but if someone murders someone else, instead of them living their lives in jail, they should die. If there is a car accident and one of the passengers die, you will go to court and will probably just be thrown in jail. However, if you are intoxicated when that accident occurs, you should die.......

  • @bigv6691 i am only 17 too but if the government turns its military forces aginst there citizens that armys frome other countrys will help us just look at egyptians they over came there gov. i use this video as a motivational thing to help me see what an american is
